I can't link the GPS fix link bc I am mobile the rest of the night. Pretty sure it is by Kwikslvr or something like that.

For testing, stay on whatever version/kernel you are already on.

1 take GPS reading.

2 let it go into deep sleep and then pull it out of DS and

3 do another GPS lock.

Put in your ffc and do the hardware fix, which consists if prying little GPS antenna up slightly. The thread has pix and instructions.

4 reboot and pull up GPS and lock

5 let get into deep sleep again and pull it out and

6 do another GPS lock. Try not to reboot other than after you install ffc/GPS bc we know that "resets" the GPS.

Looking to see if when it comes out of DS, does it lock, how long, how close, how many birds...all before and after. Once that is all done, then flash v12 if you want.

Good luck and I'll check in later and thanks. You are in right place at right time to either confirm or rule out one possible thing.

So after swapping out my battery (powered off, swapped batteries for the charged one, powered back on) my phone duplicated all my pictures and music again... Is there a way to prevent this all together? I really don't want to have to clear my cache every time I turn the phone off and back on...
[Vibrant Android Development] closedcircuit:
I did do the hardware fix, and I was having problem with V12. I did the same thing and flashed the v11b5 3.0.8 kernel Here and GPS started working after DS like a champ again. Plus I also noticed that my avg power drain dropped from 59mah back down to 19mah like when I was on V11b5.
[Vibrant Android Development] BoomBoomPOW:
I'm experiencing lag on the keyboard.

(200mhz-1400mhz sio/smartassv2 and free ram average is 150mb)

Anyone else keyboard lagging?

Maybe a new keyboard from the Market might help? IDK.. what's wrong?
[Vibrant Android Development] Woody:
Ok so it is seeming that v12 with v11b5 3.0.8 kernel does not break GPS, whether you did the hardware fix or not. This is leading me to believe that something from that kernel to the newer one is breaking it. If we can pinpoint what it is (w/o breaking down the kernel since most of us don't know how to do that) we can inform Neo/Nelson and Eugene about it.

Good work. Keep testing and we'll figure this out since most of the last 50 pages have been about GPS. Then we can conquer the duplicate pix/music, mute/unmute that is apparently as sporadic as the GPS issues,...

Anyone else having problems with not receiving some text messages ? People say they texted me but i never get their sms.
[Vibrant Android Development] Burner2K0:
So is it safe to flash the v11b5 3.0.8 kernel even when on v12 so I can get a better GPS lock?
[Vibrant Android Development] Woody:
It is safe to flash that kernel. Not sure if it will give you a better lock or not. That is what we are trying to figure out.
[Vibrant Android Development] mveksler:
Well if you have GPS working on v12 kernel after deep sleep then don't bother with v11b.5 3.0.8. However if your GPS is not working then give that one a shot.
[Vibrant Android Development] mainecrab:
With v12 and v11b5 3.0.8 kernel I get a good lock and if I turn off GPS finagle around I can get Deep Sleep working with GPS and with Google Location services started meaning I can deep sleep come back and GPS will take a few min to get up and running and I can use MAPs and Navigation. If I leave this one and reboot ill have to do it again disable location services reboot finagle with the GPS and location services then it works fine with deep sleep

Seen with the orig Kernel which was delivered with #12:

Java NULL Pointer Error: (immo not reproducible ... In the meantime I have flash the rc7 sunset kernel- a few post before; but maybe an app must try to use wifi in the same moment??? )

* Wifi is active

* Select PLane Mode

* switch WiFi over the Energy Widget on > Error occurred

Seen in the morning:

The phone was over night conneted on a USB Cable

In the morning the phones wasn't charged = 0%

I'll obverse them

Spent sometimes:

The Wifi Net at home is with fixed IP address.

If I leave home, sometimes its happen,

* that Mobile Data is not switched on, if no Wlan visible and conneted ( I must go over the plane Mode)

* sometime the Signalbar is empty: No connection to the GSM Network ( I must go over the plane Mode)
[Vibrant Android Development] GabrielGPP:
what is the best procedure to install the new kernel?
[Vibrant Android Development] Woody:
You can either flash it in recovery or get an app in the market called SGS Kernel Flasher and you can make a back up of your current kernel before moving on to the new one (this is what I use).
[Vibrant Android Development] GabrielGPP:
Just install zip? don't make any wipe?
[Vibrant Android Development] Woody:
No need. It isn't like a ROM, but you can wipe your cache and Dalvik for a good cleansing. If you do that, it will take slightly longer to reboot so don't freak out. I wipe caches once a week at least. Helps with RAM too (sort of).
[Vibrant Android Development] hdomingu:
Just wanted to say thank you to Neo for this great ROM, Im moving on to the Sensation hopefully the development over there is as good as it is here. I definitely held on to the phone longer because of this ROM great work

@ woodrube

10.10 manufacture date, I've bent the GPS contact up slightly (although it worked fine before, maybe only a slight difference).

GPS / deep sleep has worked fine for me the last several iterations.

v11b5 worked

v12+sufix stock kernel, works fine.

[Vibrant Android Development] shreddintyres:
ill run an md5 hash on them to compare but if im not mistaken they are the same thing nelson probably just uploaded and forgot to include teh revision number so reuploaded the b8's so people could distinguish between the different revisions for testing purposes.

If you look at the times when they were uploaded you can see they were uploaded only minutes after the non-b8 in any case just go with the ones with the most recent upload time
[Vibrant Android Development] JettyLife:
Oh ok so they're just different variations of the v12 kernel

[Vibrant Android Development] shreddintyres:
yes blue and sunset refer to the splash screen, granted i havent had a splash screen since i flashed this rom but i could care less about that :p
[Vibrant Android Development] bobshute:
blue is blue_b8 when downloaded, same with sunset. only difference is kernel size between blue and sunset. maybe a just different kernel splash.
[Vibrant Android Development] mveksler:
I have compared b5 blue and sunset and they b8 blue has different libraries in system folder as well as boot.img is different in size. The b8 blue has the latest time-stamp. I am not sure what the difference is between two but a change-log would be useful.
[Vibrant Android Development] wergeld:
Is anyone else experiencing odd WiFi issues?

I searched the threads and only my posts come up (nifty).

What happens is this:

I connect to my WPA secured router and I get the icon with the signal strength level.

I then open an app that uses the network (facebook, xda, pulse, etc etc) and try and refresh or connect.

I get the up/down arrows in the WiFi icon like things are happening (the icon is even blue meaning it is synced with Google account services).

Nothing updates or refreshes in the apps. Nothing.

Facebook gives me the tiny blue "working" spinner.

Xda gives me the big spinner on the splash page.

On it goes....

I have checked the WiFi connection and it is on the correct router, signal strength can be on "dot" to all arcs full, connection speed fluctuates from 1 mbps to 11 mbps...but nothing actually downloads/uploads.

So, you are thinking to yourself: "Self, it must be his router."

Well, this is where it gets downright scientific:

I revert back to CM7/Bionix/Whatever (have not tried other ICS builds) and WiFi connection is spot on and amazing.

I try using the Passion build I was on with the problems and change the modem to any other one - same issue.

I use my Nook, G1 or any other devices over my local WiFi and it is A-Okay.

I then try the Passion build on other WiFi spots and the same issue - I get the "blue" icon with various levels of strength and the up/down arrows but no actual data is transferred.

I should note that the XDA app finally does throw an error:

Connection to forums.xda-developers.com Refused

or

No route to host

or

Unresolved host name

This is getting to be a real pain in the ass but only on one cheek since the rest of the ROM is great (GPS is great enough, I do not expect miracles). Does anyone else have any trouble shooting ideas?

Mute/Unmute Reverse???

Hey team, I know of the mute unmute - This is when you receive a call/place, and in order for them to hear you, you hit mute and unmute.

In my case, they can hear me clearly but I can't hear them. Mute/Unmute didnt work. Speaker works so so and Bluetooth and headset is fine and clear.

I have

Uninstalled and Re flashed the rom

Flashed different Kernels

I came from CM 7 and I did wipe clean and all caches before installing this

Has anyone else experienced this?

I am on V12, I just flashed the New Kernel 3.1.10 ICS Passion, Chilly Goodness #1.

Help is appreciated

Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] shreddintyres:
just fyi the reason that nelson packaged the kernels with nova instead of trebuchet is that he has a suspicion that it might be launcher related as far as causing gps issues. these are meant to be test kernels not officially to be packaged with the rom.. yet.
[Vibrant Android Development] bobshute:
Thanks...Didn't know that. as one who refuses to join facebook somwtimes i miss out on info.

[Vibrant Android Development] donnygg:
Couldn't resist the temptation to try this out. OMFG this is so smooth and fast! Mute/unmute doesn't seem to be a problem for me but will test it out the next few days. GPS works great on reboot but turn it on/off and it's gone. Not a big deal since I don't use it much. Camera FC'd when changing camera resolution.

Working great in general. Just a few questions:

1. Auto brightness not working? The changelog says it's fixed but the brightness doesn't seem to change with the surrounding. Is there a fix somewhere I need to flash?

2. Changing brightness by sliding on the status bar not working. Not sure if this feature has been activated but when I turned this on in the settings, it doesn't work. This has been a feature in Froyo and glad to see it here (not present in MIUI Lithium). Would be great if it works since the auto brightness does not. Is there any way to conveniently change the brightness? The widget only changes in huge steps.

3. Is there a way to switch off camera sound?
[Vibrant Android Development] shreddintyres:
as far as i know its just modifications to the gps libraries and work on gps there is also some work done on the call volume so you arent straining to hear people talking, there are also some speed modifications and the inclusion of more governors and schedulers, i havent flashed the b8 kernel yet as revision 7 seems to be working ok for me (gps isnt an issue for me, battery life is the priority)

as far as any other changes to the kernel im not really certain
[Vibrant Android Development] db3:
i've had similar problems regardless of using wifi or data. last time that happened, i tried running speedtest and found that my ping was over 600ms and up/down speeds were in the 20kbps range. rebooting the phone helped, i didn't try anything else -- switching to airplane mode and back might be enough.
[Vibrant Android Development] neobuddy89:
We still working on GPS issue. As per the latest reports by users, launcher seems to break GPS after deep sleep. Nothing on mute/unmute.

1. Settings > Display > Brightness: Automatic Brightness.

2. Not activated yet.

We know issues exist and so it's beta. Stay tuned.
[Vibrant Android Development] xxprowler:
i've checked with system panel app, and it seems that the process that keeps the cpu at around 2% cpu all the time is system UI, before v12 it was around 80% deep sleep. now it is 40% in 100mhz. it is killing the battery.

another thing i've encountered is that the touch buttons light stays on 7 seconds after being pressed, no matter what setting i choose in the settings menu.

anyone got a clue ?
[Vibrant Android Development] donnygg:
I totally understand it's beta but it's already so fantastic! I've tried checking auto brightness under settings and also the widget but it doesn't seem to have an effect. I've checked my light sensor and it is working.

Just look back few pages it is there.

---------- Post added at 01:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:35 PM ----------

I tested both sunset and blue b8 kernels being on v12 with v11b 3.0.8 kernel -> going to new kernel. Multiple reboots, turning GPS on and OFF yielded no results. Still GPS is broken after deep sleep. I went back to v11b 3.0.8 and GPS is back up running like a champ. Now I have a new launcher (i.e. Nova) but GPS still works on v11b 3.0.8 and not on any of the 3.10 kernels
[Vibrant Android Development] Woody:
So then maybe it is Trebuchet breaking the GPS. If you are using Nova.

Man I wish there was a Change-log for these kernels.
[Vibrant Android Development] mveksler:
I have GPS working on v12 with v11b 3.0.8 kernel with Trebuchet or Nova launchers. I tried both new kernels and it breaks GPS after deep sleep regardless of the launcher.
[Vibrant Android Development] mainecrab:
Yes using Nova Launcher instead of Trebuchet allows me to use Location Services on boot or reboot Sleep or Deep Sleep all work fine with v12 with v11b5 3.0.8 kernel
[Vibrant Android Development] mveksler:
Actually Google location service works on v11b 3.0.8 regardless of launcher. The key is to follow exact order. Disable all location options reboot, enable GPS only, use test app to get lock, go to deep sleep, in a min or two check if phone deep sleeped, use test app to get lock again, if all is good enable Google location service and is good on v11b 3.0.8. However if you reboot you have to follow the same steps.
[Vibrant Android Development] sada23:
Its not confirmed that trebauchet launcher breaks the GPS after deep sleep in the newer kernels. I use Lemus Launcher and I still get broken GPS after deep sleep in all the newer kernels except 3.0.8 v11b5.

Its very few people who have had success with the new kernel that has Nova launcher. There are a few others including Nelson whose GPS works irrespective of the kernels even after deep sleep. Its kind of mysterious as of now.
[Vibrant Android Development] zul8er:
Nelson's first 4 test kernels GPS worked for me also after deep sleep. I gave up on testing since I was getting consistent results. I am now back to 11b5 because the button lights were on the whole time the screen was on.

my phone won't seem to deep sleep. before when I had GPS on it didn't deep sleep as well and the battery drained really quickly.

I turned GPS off and did a reboot and let it sit for 10 minutes and checked CPU spy and it showed it spending the whole time at 1000Mhz and the batter stats show that it was awake the whole time.

what should I try next?

edit:

so I checked running processes and it showed that the music app was running in the background, once I stopped it it seems my phone will now go into deep sleep. do I have to force stop after each reboot?

I didn't see an option in the music player to load on startup?

Cannot Get Back Bootscreen After MyBackup Pro Restore

Flashed ICS v12 without any problems following the directions on the first page. Rebooted several times after the initial flash to let the ROM settle.

[Vibrant Android Development] amandadam:

Guys, how is the battery life from this ICS rom?
[Vibrant Android Development] SAI Peregrinus:
I tend to get about 6-8 hours, but I use my phone a lot. Other people who spend 90%+ of their time in deep sleep mode have shown battery life over 24 hours.

So not bad battery life, in general. I charge my phone at night so 8 hours is normally plenty. Your usage may vary.
[Vibrant Android Development] Woody:
Neo/Nelson said that this MAY be a possibility, that trebauchet is breaking GPS. Not that it is, but might be. New kernels are only test kernels and not for mass consumption.

My bad. Maybe I should have said that is what I used on Froyo and GB. When I flash ICS, I usually do the kernel change while still in recovery since there are 47 different kernels :D;) since the beginning and I have half of them on my sdcard.. Thanks my friend.

Finally someone said it. Kills me to see, "I've been running this for 29 hours and love it" but CPU spy shows only a mere 27hours in deep sleep, 20mins in 1000, 10mins in 800,...
